Video-audio recording apparatus, and video-audio recording method

Abstract

Provided is a video-audio recording apparatus capable of executing a transition effect processing simply simultaneously with an image pickup. In this apparatus, a setting unit ( 121 ) of a transition effect unit ( 106 ) registers a transition effect in accordance with an input selected from a transition effect setting screen by an operation unit ( 102 ). An extraction unit ( 122 ) extracts an area to be superposed for executing a transition effect processing. After an “image pickup resumption”, an effect processing unit ( 123 ) synthesizes a video signal inputted from a video input device ( 103 ) and an audio signal inputted from an audio input device ( 104 ), and a video signal and an audio signal to be recorded in the area extracted at the extraction unit ( 122 ), thereby to execute the transition effect processing.

1 - 8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . A video and audio recording apparatus comprising:
 an input device that captures video data and audio data being filmed;   a transition effect registering section that registers a transition effect of connecting video data and audio data before and after filming is paused;   an editing section that, when the filming is paused and then resumed, superimposes video data and audio data recorded in a predetermined time period until the filming is paused and video data and audio data recorded in the predetermined time period after the filming is resumed, and edits the video data and audio data according to the transition effect registered by the transition effect registering section; and   a recording section that records the video data and audio data edited by the editing section.   
     
     
         10 . The video and audio recording apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the editing section superimposes video data and audio data recorded in the predetermined time period immediately before the filming is paused and video data and audio data recorded in the predetermined time period after the filming is resumed, and edits the video data and audio data according to the transition effect. 
     
     
         11 . The video and audio recording apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the editing section superimposes video data and audio data of the predetermined time period specified in advance and video data and audio data recorded in the predetermined time period after the filming is resumed, and edits the video data and audio data according to the transition effect. 
     
     
         12 . A video and audio recording apparatus comprising:
 an input device that captures video data and audio data being filmed;   a transition effect registering section that registers a transition effect of connecting video data and audio data before and after filming is paused;   an editing section that, when the filming is paused and then resumed, superimposes video data and audio data specified in advance and video data and audio data recorded in a predetermined time period after the filming is resumed, and edits the video data and audio data according to the transition effect; and   a recording section that records the video data and audio data edited by the editing section.   
     
     
         13 . A video and audio recording method comprising:
 an inputting step of capturing video data and audio data being filmed;   a transition effect registering step of registering a transition effect of connecting video data and audio data before and after filming is paused;   an editing step of, when the filming is paused and then resumed, superimposing video data and audio data recorded in a predetermined time period until the filming is paused and video data and audio data recorded in the predetermined time period after the filming is resumed, and editing the video data and audio data according to the transition effect registered in the transition effect registering step; and   a recording step of recording the video data and audio data edited in the editing step.
